a new sign lettered in gilt on black. The
ends of the sign are decorated with sprgs of

from the busy appearance inside, Mr. Makers

A Christmas Carol.
We loathe, abhor,
Detest, despise
The man who does
Not advertise.
And when he finds,
After New Years
Enough to JUS
Tify his fears
That he laid In
Too large stock,
That TO his store
Folks didn't flock,
And half his goods
Are still on shelf,
He'll loathe, detest,
Despise himself.

CALAIS, July Is.
An onerous quietness prevails in the vicin-
ity of the Salvation Army barracks, and now
the local corps marches and countermarches
without the note of accordion, cornet or
martial drum beat "How long will it last ?''
is the question which now engages the mind
of the public, and the query which was pro-
pounded to Capt. Columbus Wilde this eve
ming.
The Captain replied, in quiet but awfully
stern tones, until our next marching day.
have written Marshal Burlington Booth in
New York, who is the Commander-in-C Chief
Of the Army in the United States, advising
him OF the affair, and asking for instructions.
As no answer has as yet been received,
wired him tonight, and expect reply at
once have no doubt that he will tell us to
march, drums and all, and we will certainly
obey the order.
What do | think of the arrest of myself
and five comradesP 1 think it was an out
rage, engineered by a small clique, who hate
the Army and its work. and would do any,
thing to break it up. They think they can
stop its course, but they can't. 1t was tried
III Augusta anu L OItlduu, ana dozen other
places, and proved failure. The courts
will sustain us, public opinion is with us.
and we are unit in our resolve
to resist any and all attempts to
suppress our outdoor exercises will
Even if we should be declared a nuisance it
only means short term atMachias Jail and in
retaliation we will close every stable, every
drug store, every hotel office, stop the musi-
cal services in all the churches, and prohibit
the Calais band from playing and the se-
cret societies from parading on Sunday. The
law will cut both ways, can tell you. We
will march and heat our drums if all H
rises and bids us to stop.
Judge Rounds says that the six members
of the Army were discharged because the
writ did not specify any particular act of dis
turbance. An arrest on complaint would re-
suit in the offenders being bound over ito ap-
perr before the Grand Jury.
Much interest is manifested in the Army S
probable movements, and the general selti-
ments is that it is a nuisance and should be
abated. The meetings are we'll attended,
and the members express perfect willing
ness to march and use their instruments the
moment the word comes from headquarters.

one could have named the winner, and not
until Small sent the ball over the left field
fence for home run and a tall hat was
Portland made sure of the game. Small did
the pitching for the home team, and Burke
for the visitors. The former was a little un-
steady at times, hitting one man and sending
four to first on balls. Tine Haverhills, how
ever, earned but three runs off his delivery,
while the champions earned seven off Burke.
Both pitchers were well supported behind

there Is a considerable amount Of literary
activity, particularly in professional depart
ments in various sections Of the Dominion

treatises on legal subjects issued In Canada
Is considerable, most Of them manifesting,
besides an Intimate knowledge OF law, no
little industry and a surprising aptitude In
the art Of bOOk-making. The same may be
said, though 10 lesser extent. Of native
works In medical science and cOgnate sub
jects. In education the Geid has been fully
ana. ON the whole, satisfactorily occupied:
and In Ontario, particularly, there Is now an
extensive list OF work designed Tor the
use OF schools, not only Of an elementary
but Of an advanced ehuaeter lt Is not so
long ago that the wants-of our schools were
almost wholly supplied from foreign, and
especially from American, sources. OF late
wears We have changed all that. Our
school readers, grammarS, Biographies, arith-
metlcs. besides many advanced works in
classics, science and mathematics, are now
ali of native origin. The number of ammo
tated English classics, edited by native writ
ers, Is now also large; and much OF this
work, which has been called forth by the in
telligent interest os the Hon. the Minister
Of Educatino, Is Of a higher order, and bears
the marks Of literary skin, good taste, wide

Jennie Cramer Committed Sui

New HAVEN, July 19.-It now appears
from the deathbed statement of Albert Fitz-

ted suicide after all, and was not murdered
by the Malley Brothers. 1t seems that Fitz-
roy was stopping at Savin Rock at the time,
and when out walking saw the unfortunate
girl leap into the water. Fitzroy said that
ne went to New Haven and listened to the
trial of the Malley boys, and was prepared
guilty. Why he did not do so in the first
place cannot be learned, but it is suspected
that he did not care to have the circumstances
of his being there at the time looked up. The
principals of the great trial are now scatter
